Message From The Principal
Westbrook Families,
It has been a fun spirit filled week here at Westbrook. A big thank you to Kacie Bratko for creating our themes for spirit week. The week concluded with our PTA sponsored Valentine's Day Parties! Thank you to all of the PTA volunteers that helped to create games and activities, sort snack and helped at our parties. Today would not have been possible without all of your help! It is very much appreciated.
This week also brought snow and cold temperatures that we expect to continue into next week. We saw a significant increase in the amount of students being dropped and picked up. Thank you for your continued patience throughout arrival and dismissal. The preferred and safest way to drop off and pick up is to follow our routines around the building for each drop off area. We have seen some parents choose to park and walk their students to our front door but I would encourage all parents to follow our car lanes. As you make your way around the building please remember to drive slow and be aware of all of our crosswalks. (There are actually six individual crosswalks around our building.)
Please also see two exciting fundraiser opportunities from the PTA below. These are great ways to meet other families and support our PTA. There are limited spots available so please act quick if you are interested!
Have a wonderful long weekend! Happy Valentine's Day!
Patrick
Recess - Winter Gear
Please be sure to send students with winter ⛄ gear each day, as the decision for outdoor recess is often made as close to recess as possible. If the "feels like" 🥶temperature is below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, students will be kept indoors.
It's gets muddy out there at times. An extra pair of shoes 👟 & socks🧦 along with pair of pants sent to school with your child can help keep keep your child comfortable at school and avoid phone calls home looking for dry/clean clothes.
In order to play in snowy conditions need 5 essential items:
boots, snowpants, jackets, gloves/mittens, & headwear (hat or earmuffs)
PLEASE!! Make sure to label your child's coat, hat, boots, to make returning any lost items back to the student easier. Thank you!!
Spring Music Program For 1st and 2nd Grade Students
Westbrook School Proudly Presents: Music Tells A Story
We are excited for our spring music program, “Music Tells A Story.” Every 1st and 2nd grade student will sing and each child will also have one of the following roles: a speaking part, a dancing performance, or playing a musical instrument. All of these roles – and all of our students! – are extremely important in making the show a success. Mark your calendars for your child’s show!
Thursday, March 13, 9:30am: Hochman, Carlin, Mirande, Sulak
Thursday, March 13, 1:30pm: Marsh, Cottrell, Bratko, Davies
Friday, March 14, 9:30am: Borkowski, Malamis, Howard

We want to share a few details:
All performances will be held in the front gym at Westbrook School.
Parking in our lot in a designated space may be challenging. We encourage you to carpool, and park in the empty lot across the street if needed.
Students may wear formal but comfortable clothing for this performance.
Each performance will last about 40 minutes.
Each student will be able to have two guests attend their scheduled performance.
The safety and security of all of our students and staff at Westbrook are our priority, and we ask for your help by following District 34 safety and security protocols that require each guest to have their photo ID processed through our security system before being admitted into Westbrook.
To avoid lines in the front office and the greatest enjoyment of the show, we highly recommend that each guest who will attend the show stop by the main office or call the main office at 847-998-5055 as soon as possible before the week of the show to pre check-in with their photo ID. The best times to call the main office are during 9:00am-11:00am and 1:00pm-3:00pm daily.
Thank you for your help!
Mrs. Karin Meister
Westbrook Music Teacher

Dental health is an important part of a child’s overall health – we love to see our students’ healthy smiles!
This spring, District 34 is bringing Orland Park Dental Services (OPDS) to our schools to provide dental exams to any of our students who need them. As a reminder, the State of Illinois requires students in grades K, 2, and 6 to submit proof of a dental exam – but these in-school appointments with OPDS are open to any and all students! They provide dental services to children on public aid as well as those with private dental insurance.
The exams are provided by caring, licensed dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants with state-of-the-art portable dental equipment. OPDS has been providing in-school dental services since 1999 and their healthcare professionals ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable environment within the schools.
Parents and guardians who complete the consent form do not have to join their child at the appointment (but you are welcome to come in). If you have questions or need assistance, contact District Nurse Shari Stadler.
Lost & Found
Our lost & found is overflowing. Do any of these items belong to your child? Stop by anytime at the front office.
